• Question

  I am located on eastern Long Island and am looking for a local population of Diervilla lonicera. Has anyone sited this species in my area?

  Answer

  Dear jtg65, one strategy you could use is to visit the vitural herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). They have an online collection of imaged museum specimens. If you search through those collections, you may find collections taken from Long Island that would help you narrow down your searches for this species. You could also try contacting folks at NYBG and see if anyone has first-hand information about how to find this shrub. Good luck.
